Abstract

One hundred eighteen volunteers were studied in a hospital-based smoking cessation program in which nicotine polacrilex (Nicorette) was used as an adjunct to behavioral modification (group support). The "success" rate of 40% to 47% at 1 year was chemically verified. The regimen for using the nicotine polacrilex was "within labeling" but decidedly different from the regimen used in most smoking cessation programs involving this product.
